DS3 racing model..

[Graeme]

I know there has been threads on the new citroen DS3 but just spotted this on pistonheads and its the DS3 racing model

It looks like mr180 has been on the styling team though :P


looks and sounds pretty impressive if it is as good at they say

looks sick haha.

[Bound]

Taking inspiration from the ST with that bold colour.

[Bickerton]

Peugeots answer looks nicer imo, this looks too much like a mini for my liking

[Bound]

Oh yeah, and;

Look sick, I want one.

Can't really understand why there are so many haters tbh, I think that looks ace.

[leeroybrown]

Some local lad has a yellow one DS3, looks smart

I would flog the clio and have the hot hatch for sure

[Bickerton]

Peugeot's version (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-rcz/)

[leeroybrown]

180 should have copyrighted that colour theme lol

[wadoryu]

Peugeot's version (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-rcz/)

thats hardly a version is is thats a sports coupe and the ds3 is a hot hatch

[hellonpluto]

like the car, hate the colour but it is citroen after all :y:

[Bound]

Peugeot's version (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-rcz/)

Looks like they've robbed the back off an R8. So the front doesn't suit it.

Still a good looking car, but a its coupé, so isn't competing with this.

But tbh, as nice as they both are, for £18,000 (for the Citroen), I'd rather have something else.

looks so sick i was just about to post this......

2k more for example would get a civic type R if thats to your taste, it 's a hell of alot of money for a cit/pug tbh

[Saxomatic]

Peugeot's version (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-rcz/)

I prefer this if I'm honest.

Haven't seen a DS3 in the flesh, may grow on me yet.

[Bickerton]

Wonder what the depreciation will be like on there

[James106]

I like the DS3 but i can't stand how it's copied the Mini on the rood, like where they've put a slab of orange on top .... might be talking shit but hey

[chriswoodward]

I love the DS3 a black one came past me on the motorway the other day and they really dont look like mini's in my opinion, I think they look great. For all those people saying err they look too much like mini's to be fair its not like the mini is a bad looking car. I do however think the rear quaters look a little strange butotherwise the styling nice and fresh and funky.

[chriswoodward]

Just as much as the Peugeot like any french hatch. Although i dont know how this is compared to the Peugeot as the Peugeot isnt a hot hatch they are going to be in two totally different markets.

[Matt_West_Mids]

Look's nice Alloys are a bit mad though.

[Alanapone]

I kinda like it... just not a fan of newer bigger cars but it does look impressive. Anyone know if you'll be able to transplant that nice 197 bhp tubo'd 1.6 lump yet? that would be cool!

[Maxamus]

Id have one tbh 197BHP seems tasty...

[Matt_West_Mids]

Minus the dodgey orange I'd have one.

Cars been tango'd :D

[Cammy]

the new DS3 looks... ugh, ugly as fuck.

It's like... a girl whos be ran over by a truck, has teeth sticking over her lips and then you still wanting to get inside it.

The pugeot RCz looks much better.

At the end of the day, how much is this going to cost? if its anywhere near £20k, id rather buy a second hand Noble at £20k!!

[chriswoodward]

The standard one is 15K in all fairness you cant compare a New french hatch to a second hand noble but if you like sloppy seconds then I suppose thats your call.:wink:

These do look nicer in person though.

17.5 for the 150 bhp one.
Assume this will be like the peugeot and be 20-22k

"can i get a hell no!?"

[JamesR]

Saxo180 should have beef! That is blatently a copy lol

And i used to HATE these cars with a passion, but now i am not so sure.

[dankzy]

i would spend 22k on one if i had it
(waits for abuse)

[saxokid100]

Not fusse on the orange paint,but i do like it though.........:p:p

[Viper]

looks nice actually!

they're definitely growing on me

[Liam_]

I think it looks excellent. Genuinely think this car could turn Citroen around.

[craig180]

Needs Super T's. Those wheels are sooooooo tacky!

[minxymears]

Id have one...

[CHIP]

Looks smart to me.

Bickerton, you can't compare a coupe to a hatchback lol.

[CHIP]

I think so:

[sparky771]

repost ftw :)

it looks pretty cool and i reckon it will be rapid!!

[LeeM]

looks awesome :D

[johnlambert]

the car is sweet!!
admit it!!
id defo have one!!

might look into getting one.....:drink:

[vtcarl]

do like these, but the price tag is a put off and most young drivers will not pay that when they can get more powerful second hand cars cheaper.

[Predator_R32]

Hmmm very nice indeed

[Robin91]

Looks cheap & tacky imo, way too much stuff going on with it. Trying to make it look like something space-age, but just looks like pish IMO. May grow on me, but I doubt it.

[furiomike]

I like the more normal DS3's. They aren't necessarily that expensive either. Under £12K for the cheapest i think.

[auds]

I think it's ugly :n: the front grill is horrible, the orange is yuck and the interior is ott, so not my cuppa tea...

[auds]

Peugeots answer looks nicer imo, this looks too much like a mini for my liking

Just had a look, and I definitely agree, that is sexy :p I want one lol, it's tasteful, classy, nicccceeeeee :)

[saxolenny]

think it looks ace tbh i would deffo have 1 :)

[tom130691]

i can see these on track already tbh :P

[shaunsvtr]

it looks so good 1 want 1 now how much have ya gotta pay to own 1 ov them then ??

[tinytim6666]

i like the interior but not so keen on the front end

[VTomR]

i.want.them.seats! :fcuk:

[sjk]

embarrassed to say, i quite like it.

[saintsfan]

lol i was about to say that, how long till we see a sticky 'How to fit Ds3 Racing seats into your saxo' lol

[Danger]

yeah that klass looking

[Rogue_Shadow]

Bit of a bump, No?
Still do love the DS3, see alot of the standard models on the road these days.
Looking extremely modern with the DRL's :y:
Will do well in the WRC next year :D

[Mr_X]

bumparoo there noob.

these out yet?

[Chr15]

hope not.

hardly see the normal ones anyway

[CHIP]

Pretty sure they're out. Think i've seen one or two now.

But that's a fail of a bump.

[bide_furio]

if he had started a new thread everyone would be saying its a repost and use the search button lol!

still only seen one normal one!

[D--R--E--W]

Interior is fantastic in them, there are a good few of them going around my area. A lovely dark grey one with blacked out windows, grey alloys and black roof with light grey tribal vinyls all over it

[sssaaaxxxooo]

Looks like a pile of vomit.

[saxokid100]

I like the DS3's,prefer them in one colour though.........:p
